A very tough date in high grade, seldom encountered at this level of preservation. PCGS has graded only six MS65s and a single MS65+ numerically finer, underscoring the scarcity above this grade level. This example is well struck with bright, frosty luster and pleasing eye appeal, offering largely clean surfaces with only minor marks typical for the issue. An attractive near-Gem and an important opportunity for the advanced Morgan specialist.
